Feminism

Stop lying to women. It’s good to want babies.

By Filings on Mon, 04/07/25
Body

“According to ShoutYourAbortion.com (yes, that is a real website), women who want children are the abnormal ones…. This website is among the legacies of a society now well into its fourth wave of feminism. Women see the procreative design of their bodies as a problem to be avoided or solved, not a gift of God.” - Breakpoint

Mary Harrington’s new book, Feminism Against Progress - feminism's failures, body alienation, and technology

By Filings on Fri, 03/24/23
Body

“At the heart of Harrington’s critique of feminist thinking is its denial of the fundamental asymmetry between the sexes. As she sees it, women’s capacity to bear children is not a simple addendum to some generic, genderless human; it is the essence of being a particular sort of human, a female human.

How the 19th-century temperance movement shaped feminism

By Filings on Wed, 03/15/23
Body

“Emphasizing what the WCTU called ‘organized mother love’ — the belief that women could apply the ideals of motherhood to the social issues of the time — Willard built the WCTU into one of the largest women’s organizations in the world.” - RNS

Are Complementarian Preachers Just Mansplaining?

By Filings on Fri, 11/11/22
Body

“It’s easy to see how complementarian churches could be accused of mansplaining. Generally speaking, complementarians seek to obey the plain meaning of 1 Timothy 2:12, which forbids a woman from teaching a man in the context of congregational worship.” - TGC

How the Church Has Been Good for Women... and Other Ways It Is “Essential”

By Filings on Tue, 08/09/22
Body

“…the feminist paradigm has quite successfully framed Christianity and the Church as misogynist, patriarchal, and harmful for women…. reframes pagan religions and cultures as being pro-woman, at least until Christianity gained prominence. This narrative, however, doesn’t match the historical realities.” - Breakpoint

Beth Moore apologizes for her role in elevating ‘complementarian’ theology that limits women leaders

By Filings on Thu, 04/08/21
Body

“In an email to Religion News Service, Moore didn’t go quite so far as to say she has entirely abandoned complementarianism. But she no longer sees it as essential.” - RNS

By Filings on Fri, 03/26/21
Body

“Karen Swallow Prior, a professor of English and Christianity and Culture at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary…wrote a passionate article in February explaining why she remains Southern Baptist. Yet she is among a number of SBC women publicly sharing their dismay about sex abuse and the vitriol directed at Moore.” - C.Leaders

By Filings on Tue, 10/13/20
Body

“Some Catholic women in Britain are backing an online petition that urges the Church’s leadership in England and Wales to reverse their decision to use the ‘gender-exclusive’ English Standard Version of the Bible (Catholic edition), instead of the Jerusalem Bible translation, at mass.” - C.Post

“There seems to be something of a spectrum among complementarians in terms of the application of what we see in the Scriptures.”

By Filings on Wed, 05/13/20
Body

“Perhaps instead of insisting on the use of a particular word [complemenetarian], if we are really interested in knowing what someone believes about the role of husbands, women elders, or plumb colored pants, we should simply ask.” - Ref21

Body

“So along the lines of Aimee’s recent blog posts, I have listed some questions and concerns regarding her book. I did not formulate these entirely on my own. Some are from readers who did not feel comfortable raising these concerns publicly.” - Ref21
